An extension agronomist has some tips for establishing late summer forages.
Rebecca Vittetoe with Iowa State University says time is running out to get warm season annuals started.
“They do better with less rain, but we would still want to have rain around seeding to at least get them up and going. I would want to get those seeded for sure within the next week if people haven’t already seeded them just because they are going to grow the most when we have these warmer temperatures.”
She tells Brownfield in dry areas that recently receiving rain, some growers might consider seeding a perennial forage.
